"Tianyun, I sensed some materials you might need nearby. Go there and see if you can buy them."
Mo Tianyun was walking along the road when he suddenly stopped.
The voice of the spirit of miracles rang directly in Mo Tianyun's mind.
"How do you know my name, Sister Miracle?"
Mo Tianyun was puzzled.
"Isn't there a little kid who calls you Brother Tianyun?" the Spirit of Miracles explained.
“Yes! But my full name is Mo Tianyun,” Mo Tianyun said.
"Okay, enough with the nonsense. Now that you have star coins, why don't you go buy some materials you need?"
The voice of the spirit of miracles suddenly turned cold and icy.
"Oh, where are these materials?" Mo Tianyun stopped wasting time.
"The third stall on your right."
Mo Tianyun followed the instructions of the spirit of the miracle.
"Here's some chromium oxide; you absolutely need this to manufacture the core of a regular mech." The clear voice of the Spirit of Miracles echoed in my mind again.
"It's that big iron block in front of you, weighing 300kg. According to market prices, you can buy it for at most Star Coins."
The spirit of the miracle revealed the details of the material.
"Hello, how much is this iron block?"
"Star Coins," the stall owner said, seeing that the visitor was a young man. He prepared to raise the price first to test the young man's abilities.
"7000!"
"Young man, you've really pushed the price too low. This won't do, at least..." the stall owner quickly shook his head.
"8500, are you selling it or not? If not, that's fine too!"
Mo Tianyun stared straight into his eyes.
The stall owner hesitated...
The purchase price of this piece of blue chrome iron is 7,500 star coins, but most blue chrome iron is used in the manufacture of combat mechs, so it has never been able to be sold.
Mecha engineers are big shots in the city; they all have their own supply channels for mecha manufacturing materials. Why would they come here to buy his chrome iron?
Given the recent cash flow problems, selling this piece of chromite will definitely alleviate a lot of financial pressure...
The stall owner's eyes darted around.
“This piece of chrome iron looks to be around 300 kg, so the market price is in Star Coins. You're not losing money at this price!”
"Then, your piece of chrome iron is of mediocre quality, worth at most nine thousand star coins. So, I'll offer you 8,700 star coins. If you still don't sell, then I'll have to buy it from another stall."
Mo Tianyun didn't want to waste words with him and cut to the chase.
"Young man, you're so young, but you have a really good eye. I'll go with your price."
The stall owner really didn't want to let this customer go.
"The next stop is the fourth stall ahead." The spirit of miracles spoke again after the transaction was completed.
"It's the powder in that transparent box."
"This powder is called texture powder, and it is a material used to engrave the core spiritual connection patterns of combat mechs."
"The powder in this box is just enough, and the price is Star Coins," the Spirit of Miracles once again provided the details.
"So expensive!" Mo Tianyun was dumbfounded.
"Shopkeeper, I want this textured powder."
When the stall owner heard the young man specifically ask for the textured powder, he carefully examined him.
This texture powder is the material used to engrave the core spiritual connection patterns of combat mechs. Is this young man a mech manufacturer?
Impossible! There's no way a mecha engineer could be that young!
He probably bought it to practice, or his family asked him to buy it.
Many thoughts flashed through the stall owner's mind in an instant.
"Welcome, young man. How much are you willing to pay for this texture powder?"
The stall owner greeted us with a smile.
“.
Mo Tianyun said.
"Young man, are you kidding me?" the stall owner chuckled.
...
The two then began to haggle over the price.
Mo Tianyun used his silver tongue to finally settle the deal in Star Coins.
The two transactions cost Mo Tianyun almost half of his money, but this was only a portion of the materials needed to manufacture the core.
The entire mech might cost millions of star coins to manufacture.
If you buy a finished mech directly, it will cost at least 3 million.
Hanshan High-End Bookstore.
This is another destination for Mo Tianyun as he enters the city.
Hanshan High-End Bookstore is one of the few places in Hanshan City that sells advanced knowledge books.
However, the books here are ridiculously expensive, ranging from thousands of star coins to tens of thousands of star coins.
The so-called advanced knowledge refers to the knowledge of high-end professions such as mecha pilots, gene evolution pharmacists, and gene evolution warriors.
The stack of books on the table in Mo Tianyun's house were books about mecha pilots.
Those books are "Rare Mecha Material Science", "Mecha Repair Technology", "Advanced Mecha Repair", "Mecha Manufacturing Blueprint Design", "Mecha Core Introduction", and "Mecha Component Design and Assembly".
These are all precious treasures that Grandpa Sika left to Mo Tianyun.
The three books on mecha manufacturing that followed were gifts from Grandpa Sika to Mo Tianyun on his birthday.
Over the past few years, Mo Tianyun has designed a basic mecha blueprint by studying these books.
The blueprints were tucked inside the book "Mecha Manufacturing Blueprints and Design" on the table at home.
It can be manufactured at any time as long as there are enough materials.
The Thousand Swords Mech is an epic mech, and Mo Tianyun doesn't yet have the ability to manufacture it.
The bookstore was decorated in an extremely luxurious style.
Each bookshelf is made of high-grade alloy and is decorated with exquisitely carved patterns.
The side wall of the bookstore is decorated with some valuable paintings and other precious decorations.
Sparkling gems hung from the top of the ceiling.
Everything looked so magnificent.
People who can afford to buy books here are all wealthy and influential, so how could the decor be anything less than splendid!
"Hello sir, I'm a sales assistant here. How can I help you?"
At that moment, a tall woman in a uniform walked over with a smile on her face.
Mo Tianyun immediately came to his senses.
Although the sales assistant could tell from Mo Tianyun's clothes and his behavior after entering that Mo Tianyun didn't seem to be from a wealthy family.
However, due to her excellent professional ethics, she would not neglect any guest.
"I need some advanced books on mecha manufacturing, some books on combat mecha pilots, and some books on mecha parts mechanics."
Mo Tianyun slowly revealed his needs.
The woman had served many guests, but this was the first time she had ever heard of a guest needing so many different types of books.
Because those who come here to buy books are mostly high-end professionals, or people who are studying certain high-end professions.
Judging from his words, is he already a mecha engineer? Now he needs to learn advanced mecha manufacturing knowledge? But why does he need other types of books as well?
Although she was curious, the woman thought about it for a moment and then stopped, because it wasn't something she wanted to consider.
"Please follow me, sir."
The sales assistant nodded slightly to Mo Tianyun.
Second floor.
"These bookshelves have books on mecha manufacturing, and the ones on top are the more advanced ones."
The sales assistant pointed to a tall bookshelf and began to introduce it.
"Mm," Mo Tianyun replied politely.
"This book, 'The Complete Guide to Advanced Mecha Manufacturing Technology,' is the best-selling book in the advanced mecha manufacturing category."
The sales assistant took a large, thick book down from the bookshelf.
Mo Tianyun took a look and exclaimed, "Good heavens, there are at least a thousand pages!"
"This book was written 100 years ago by the Empire's chief mecha engineer, Adrian Carmen. I heard that Chief Carmen was already a veteran mecha engineer at that time."
The sales assistant gave a detailed introduction to the book.
"Sir, you've come at the right time. This is the only one left. The next shipment might not arrive for another month."
"Yes, I bought it."
"Only one left? Then I'll take it!"
Before Mo Tianyun could finish speaking, a clear and elegant girl's voice caught the attention of both Mo Tianyun and the sales assistant.
The newcomer was a girl wearing the uniform of Hanshan City Senior High School.
Despite her young age, she has developed a good figure, with a budding bust, a slender waist, and long legs encased in black stockings embroidered with gold patterns.
In addition, the girl had a delicate face and long, black hair that reached her waist.
This girl must be a beauty of school beauty level.
Mo Tianyun glanced at it.
"Welcome, Miss Vina."
The sales assistant bowed slightly to the young girl.
The sales assistant naturally recognized the young woman in front of her.
Because her father is a respected senior mecha maker, she often comes to the bookstore to buy books about mecha makers.
"Mm," the girl replied politely.
"I want this book."
"Dear Miss Vina, this gentleman wanted to buy the book first. Would you like to discuss it with him first?"
The sales assistant asked in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Vina turned her head, her beautiful hair flying in a graceful arc.
She glanced at the boy beside her.
Um?
This young man is quite handsome!
Yes, Mo Tianyun is very handsome and dashing.
He has deep-set eyes, striking features, and a tall, slender figure, leaving a lasting impression.
But he looks so familiar, I think I've seen him before!
But judging from the boy's attire, he doesn't seem to come from a wealthy family.
Judging from his age, he's about the same as me. I'm the most talented mecha maker in Hanshan City, and with my father's guidance, I've barely reached the level of a junior mecha maker.
What use is this book to him? Is he also learning advanced mecha manufacturing knowledge?
Thinking to herself, Vina smiled and politely asked, "Hello, could I have this book?"
"I'm sorry, I need this book urgently." Mo Tianyun shook his head.
"Really? You think you can use the mecha manufacturing knowledge in this book?" Vina didn't believe that anyone her age in the entire Cold Mountain City could surpass her in the field of mecha manufacturing.
"Why would I buy it if I don't need it?"
Mo Tianyun smiled calmly.
"Since you have this level of skill, why didn't we see you at the 'Genius Mecha Maker Conference' held in the city last year?"
"If you were that good, I wouldn't have won the championship last year."
Vina looked at the boy who thought he was just boasting.
"The champion of the Genius Mecha Maker Competition? I just don't want to participate."
Mo Tianyun responded calmly.
In fact, Mo Tianyun really didn't want to participate in this Genius Mecha Maker Conference because the registration fee was 3,000 star coins, which he couldn't afford.
But it's different for nobles. In the eyes of wealthy nobles, 3,000 star coins are really not much money.
On the contrary, there were many renowned mecha manufacturing experts at the conference who provided guidance, and the rewards from even a few pointers were worth more than 3,000 star coins.
"Such arrogance, then I'll give you a chance."
Vina was somewhat annoyed by Mo Tianyun's arrogant words.
Her honor must not be tarnished by anyone!
